Function:

I am a visual artist and woodworker creating functional and character filled furniture and accessories using the many techniques I have accumulated over the years. I received my BFA in 1998 and have since done fine art, finish carpentry, cabinet installation, and faux finishing. I have been doing original furniture design and custom woodwork since 2010.
My goal and purpose is to combine these elements and skills to make functional beautiful furniture that is inviting as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Driftwood Douglas Fir Bench with Driftwood Wild Arborvitae Legs. Sold

Kayso, this bench is really kind of a weird and non-traditional piece, the balance points are sensitive, and you don't want to be having a "wrastling" match atop of it. The sculptural lines of the arborvitae "legs" are very unique and have a quiet beauty of their own.


Loving the red tones in the legs!

A nice close up.

The grain on this slab is just awesome, I didn't do much to it, just a little hand planing, sanding and sealer.

Experimental Myrtle stump coffee table with reclaimed clear fir top. Sold.


Same deal with this little princess here, only this stump of myrtle is much heavier.







These pieces of fir were formerly stair treads in an old house in West Linn, circa 1940.

Reclaimed Doug Fir and Live edge Cedar coffee table $495.00

These 6 pics are more recent, a little better lighting and a tripod. I noticed that this post was getting some views, and that it still had the old pics up. I've been using this table in my living room, and it has stood up to beer and wine spills, dog fuckery, as well as everyday wear and tear. Still looks the same as when I built it a year ago. Super stout, heavy, and heavy duty.






The top for this table was a true 2x12 of doug fir 18' long. I pulled it outta the river and dried it out, as chronicled in older posts.

Awesome grays and pinks come out of  the fir when sanded or planed tastefully. 

A happy accident, one of my dowel rods, a reclaimed wooden ladder rung is visible in the end cut.
